Close My Eyes - Arthur Russell

I close my eyes and listen

To hear the corn come out

Don’t you hear the stars they glisten

As we go in and out

Down where the trees grow together

And the western path comes to an end

See the sign it says clear weather

I’ll meet you tonight, my friend

Will the corn be growing a little tonight

As I wait in the fields for you

Who knows what grows in the morning light

When we can feel the watery dew

I just can’t be there with no other

I know those hills will be true

Away from my sister and brother

Down through the grasses so new

The air is sweet and steady

And flowers bloom out of sight

I know the sky is ready

Come meet me down here tonight

Will the corn be growing a little tonight

As I wait in the fields for you

Who knows what grows in the morning light

As we can feel the watery dew
